BANISHMENT SCENE

SCENE III, A ROOM IN THE PALACE

(Enter Celia and Rosalind.)

Cel. Why, cousin; why Rosalind;—Cupid have mercy;—Not a word?

Ros. Not one to throw to a dog.

Cel. No, thy words are too precious to be cast away upon curs, throw some of them at me; come, lame me with reasons.

Ros. Then there were two cousins laid up; when the one should be lamed with reasons, and the other mad without any.
